Why Counties Matter! WHY COUNTIES MATTER!

Counties support and maintain public infrastructure, transportation and economic development assets; keep residents healthy; ensure public safety to protect our citizens; maintain public information and coordinate elections; and implement a broad array of federal, state and local programs in a cost-effective and efficient manner. People depend on counties to provide services that build, maintain, and protect their homes, schools and neighborhoods. Counties are also an instrumental player in America’s intergovernmental system of federal, state, and local governments. NACo members support state and federal policies and programs that provide the tools, resources, and solutions needed to spur job growth, improve the quality of life for all Americans, and increase the economic competitiveness of America’s counties and communities. To accomplish this, NACo adheres to a set of core principles through its core functions. NACo’s CORE PRINCIPLES Empower county leaders with new skills, resources and ideas Assist counties with first-class, cost-effective services Provide timely, informative and value-added data, knowledge and programs Promote sound public policies that advance the interests of counties Exercise sound stewardship and management of NACo's financial, intellectual, and human resources Enhance the public's understanding of county government NACo’s CORE FUNCTIONS Legislative, regulatory, and judicial representation in the nation’s capital Research Education & technical assistance Cost-saving programs Solutions for critical problems Innovative programs that meet future county needs THE DIVERSITY OF COUNTIES No two counties are exactly the same. Counties are one of America’s oldest forms of government, dating back to 1634 when the first county governments were established in Virginia. Ever since, county governments continue to evolve and adapt to changing environments and populations, with Petersburg Borough, Alaska, incorporating as recently as 2013. Counties are diverse in the way they are structured and how they deliver services to their communities. States decide counties’ roles and responsibilities. States can allow counties to govern themselves by granting them home rule authority, which gives counties varying degrees of power to decide their own structural, functional and fiscal organization. Counties’ demographic, geographic and economic characteristics dictate how they deliver services to their communities. The organization and structure of counties are tailored to fit their communities’ needs and characteristics.

The Territorial Clause of the Constitution authorizes the Congress to “make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property” of the United States.2 Relying on the Territorial Clause, the Congress has enacted legislation making some provisions of the Constitution explicitly applicable in the insular areas. In addition to this congressional action, courts from time to time have ruled on the application of constitutional provisions to one or more of the insular areas. You asked us to update our 1991 report to you on the applicability of provisions of the Constitution to five insular areas: Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (the CNMI), American Samoa, and Guam. You asked specifically about significant judicial and legislative developments concerning the political or tax status of these areas, as well as court decisions since our earlier report involving the applicability of constitutional provisions to these areas.

  • My County Works Activity Book
    My County Works A County Government Activity Book Dear Educators and Parents, The National Association of Counties, in partnership with iCivics, is proud to present “My County Works,” a county government activity book for children. It is designed to introduce students to counties’ vast responsibilities and the important role counties play in our lives every day. Counties are one of America’s oldest forms of government, dating back to 1634 when the first county governments (known as shires) were established in Virginia. The organization and structure of today’s 3,069 county governments are chartered under state constitutions or laws and are tailored to fit the needs and characteristics of states and local areas. No two counties are exactly the same. In Alaska, counties are called boroughs; in Louisiana, they’re known as parishes. But in every state, county governments are on the front lines of serving the public and helping our communities thrive. We hope that this activity book can bring to life the leadership and fundamental duties of county government. We encourage students, parents and educators to invite your county officials to participate first-hand in these lessons–to discuss specifically how your county works. It’s never too early for children to start learning about civics and how they can help make our communities better places to live, work and play. Please visit www.naco.org for more information about why counties matter and our efforts to advance healthy, vibrant, safe counties across the United States. Matthew Chase Executive Director National Association of Counties Partnering with iCivics The National Association of Counties and iCivics have developed a collection of civic education resources to help young people learn about county government.

  • GGD-81-61 Limited Progress Made in Consolidating Grants to Insular Areas
    Ibr$f)3 t’ II BY THECOMPTiOLLER GENERAL’ Report To The Congress OF THEUNITED STATES Limited Progress Made In Consolidating Grants To Insular Areas Title V of Public Law 95-134 allows Federal agencies to consolidate grants to US. Insular Areas--Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, and the Government of the Northern Mariana Islands. Grant consolidation provides a means to min- 115743 imize the administrative and financial burdens associated with the Federal assistance system. Because title V is discretionary, not all Federal agencies have chosen to consolidate grants, and those that have are approaching consoli- dation differently and conservatively. Further, Federal agencies are restricting the Insular Areas’ flexibility to redirect funds to meet I local needs and are applying varying interpre- tations to the provisions of title V. To deal with these issues, the Congress should amend title V. GGD81-61 JULY NJ,1981 L .

Approval of an American National Standard requires review by ANSI that the American requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have National been met by the standards developer. Standard Consensus is established when, in the judgement of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests.

Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made towards their resolution.

  • Former Governors of Illinois
    FORMER GOVERNORS OF ILLINOIS Shadrach Bond (D-R*) — 1818-1822 Illinois’ first Governor was born in Maryland and moved to the North - west Territory in 1794 in present-day Monroe County. Bond helped organize the Illinois Territory in 1809, represented Illinois in Congress and was elected Governor without opposition in 1818. He was an advo- cate for a canal connecting Lake Michigan and the Illinois River, as well as for state education. A year after Bond became Gov ernor, the state capital moved from Kaskaskia to Vandalia. The first Illinois Constitution prohibited a Governor from serving two terms, so Bond did not seek reelection. Bond County was named in his honor. He is buried in Chester. (1773- 1832) Edward Coles (D-R*) — 1822-1826 The second Illinois Governor was born in Virginia and attended William and Mary College. Coles inherited a large plantation with slaves but did not support slavery so he moved to a free state. He served as private secretary under President Madison for six years, during which he worked with Thomas Jefferson to promote the eman- cipation of slaves. He settled in Edwardsville in 1818, where he helped free the slaves in the area. As Governor, Coles advocated the Illinois- Michigan Canal, prohibition of slavery and reorganization of the state’s judiciary. Coles County was named in his honor. He is buried in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (1786-1868) Ninian Edwards (D-R*) — 1826-1830 Before becoming Governor, Edwards was appointed the first Governor of the Illinois Territory by President Madison, serving from 1809 to 1818.
